Extract fan cleaning in Cutlers Green, done properly
In Cutlers Green, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers discharge points, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are grease around the motor and its mounts and rough running from the extract fan.
In a village or hamlet like Cutlers Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens if it’s left?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. It’s simpler to plan the work at Cutlers Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Questions from Cutlers Green
Do you work overnight in Cutlers Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Cutlers Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Cutlers Green?
Yes. Cutlers Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Extract fan cleaning in Cutlers Green: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cutlers Green. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Cutlers Green is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Cutlers Green are the job of Uttlesford council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Saffron Walden Community Hospital about 5.6 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Cutlers Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like Cutlers Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What we are called out for in Cutlers Green
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Rough running from the extract fan
School kitchens, at schools like Thaxted Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify

Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
